Gisborne - New Zealand
Gisborne, on the East Coast of the North Island, is the first city in the
world to see the sun each day. The Maori name for the district is
Tairawhiti which means "The coast upon which the sun shines across
the water". Kaiti Beach, near the city, was where the Maori
immigrational waka, Horouta, landed; and is also the first European
landing place in New Zealand. Captain Cook first set foot here in 1769.
